iXBT Labs take an in-depth look at cache-size vs number of cores for performance.

You may remember our article series How CPU Features Affect CPU Performance that we published in 2009. That time we analyzed the performance of a number of processors to understand what affected it. Then we updated our test method and decided to do the same, but in situations and tasks closer to real life. Just like the last time, we're going to start with AMD -- with its Socket AM3 platform to be exact.
